Asiala is the survey manager of all global positioning system (GPS) applications and high-definition 3D laser scanning at Giffels Webster and has more than 20 years of experience.
“Over the last 20 years, Chris has become an integral part of our team, and his knowledge and passion for surveying has helped us complete successful projects that improve quality of life in southeast Michigan,” says Scott Clein, president and partner at Giffels Webster. “Chris will continue to help us integrate new technologies to remain leaders in surveying services in the industry.”
